Midafternoon Tesha is Life, our Hayatta, the trigram of thunder. Sundown Ramsha is Man, our Anush, the trigram of Lake. Sitara, Lilya, and Anpia are the Trigram of Heaven, the supernal sephiroth, and the Deep, our Pira. Tziphra and Tlata are the Light, Shitaya and Tesha are the Power, and Ramsha and Shlama are the Wisdom.
